New driveway, new canvas

I know Dad just resurfaced the driveway, but I assumed it was so our pictures and chalk mazes would have better contrast. Why else would he do that? 

An announcement

Emma has an announcement.

Balance beam

As I get taller, I need taller obstacles too. Luckily we have a lot of parks around here. 

Worst. Horse. Ever

I remember this horse used to be bigger ... or the rider used to be smaller. 

Spring track, 2019

It's early, but we're stretching our legs. Coach says he wants us all running the 400 meter this year, so we better start building up our endurance.

Smile for a picture!

Excuse me. I'll let you know when I'm ready to be photographed, not the other way around.

Football practice

... or something like that. 

Grandmom stories

Sure, there are chairs all over the place. But this is the best seat in the house.

It's so hard to go out in public anymore, what with all the paparazzi watching my every move. Luckily I have some disguises.  

So much homework

Emma, I'll finish the ABCs if you handle the nine times tables. Deal?

Calvin-style snowmen

It's not a 50-foot snow monster like Calvin and Hobbes make, but Dad's five-decker snowman was pretty tall and awesome.
